RFI Letter Section 6.0, Submissions
Section 6 of the submission instructions states that submissions should be sent via email, but it also directs us to the Microsoft Forms link. We are more than willing to submit both electronically via email and through the Microsoft Forms platform.
However, I am uncertain if there is a character limit within Forms.
